not a bad idea with the newbee area, but if a newbee have a question about a specific problem it is a little goofy that you only can write in this area because i think the more experienced user don´t read threads in this area.

its not just being logged in, its being active aswell, so just reading through a post can take quite some time while you are not active clicking pages. takes much longer then just 4 hours off being logged in !

thats a shame cause i would have liked to make a post as a suggestion to some problem in a thread outside newbie section.

It would be nice if there was some kind of test to enable automated promotions from newbie to Jr. For example, I've been reading these forums for quite a long time, but I didn't registered until I needed to post, so I'm not exactly new. I think I can answer advanced questions about bitcoins, and also It's not the first time I write on a forum, so I'm not a newbie. A simple test with 4 or 5 questions would allow people to prove they are ready to be "freed" to the "adult" forums.
